Yes very happy with the X. But when I see the X Plus my credit card is gonna fall out of my pocket.

I feel the same. Bought an 8+ this year and I'll be eligible for an update after 12 months, so next October. Hopefully X plus will be available by then, I think they'll go back to releasing stuff in September as usual in 2018
 
The X Plus is gonna be pretty big and uncomfortable to hold compared to the X. But its going to be the preferred choice for its aspect ratio and larger battery.

It can't be any more uncomfortable than the iPhone Plus models are currently. But I'm willing to make that trade off for a larger 6.5 display. To me, it's not even about the battery, I just feel the iPhone X is slightly small from what I was initially expecting.

Keyboard is smaller, since 8+ has a wider display. I improved my typing speed a lot since I got the 8+ and X would be a step backwards.
I'd say the perfect model to me would be something between the 8+ and X, so a wider display but not as tall as the entire chassis of 8+ with a similar aspect ratio. In fact I'd be happy with the same 5.5 display on a smaller body due to less bezels
 
X+ without the notch and metal back will be the best

The notch to me is a non issue but if they make them with a metal back I don't think they will be wireless charging anymore.

As to the x plus, wow that would be like holding an ipad up to your ear, I wouldn't want one that big.

These are my just my opinions.

The X Plus will have the same footprint as a current Plus model. You can do the math based on the display size and aspect ratio.

A metal back will decrease weight. Most consumers don’t charge wirelessly anyway.

Doubt they’d take away one of their highlight features on next years flagship.

Back with metal can and wireless charge no problem, make the Apple logo at the back bigger and glass, the current X is smaller the the 8+ make it the same size I will love it
